Original subtitles

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Under the stairs.

Under the stairs. Under the stairs.

Hey, here.

Here.

Number check!

Four!

Three!

Ah, Mila's in the lead.

Five.

Come here you.

- Show-off. - Go get ready.

My babies.

Morning.

So, today's the day, right?

Thank you.

Yeah, today's the day I completely humiliate myself

in front of every colleague I have.

Oh, so you didn't forget.

Listen, they are going to love it.

Don't worry.

Everything about those two sentences

that you just said, tells me I horribly failed

at depicting both an accurate portrait of my job.

And the vampires who make it a living hell.

Stop it.

You are a marketing genius.

Do you hear me?

And today's the day,

that these vampires are gonna realize it.

Now you're placating.

Is it working?

- A little bit. - Oh.

Ready.

Wha... whoa!

And with seven minutes to spare.

Hoorah!

Hey, so here's what I'm thinking.

Maybe we head outside and throw football around,

while we wait for these slowpokes to catch up.

- Duh! - Duh, of course.

Come on, let's go buddy.

Love you guys.

Love you.

Ooh, okay.

Hmmm.

Hello?

Morning!

Jesus, Owen!

Sorry.

- Oh, my goodness. - I didn't mean to scare you.

Did you sleep here last night?

Tish and I got into another fight,

and... I hope you don't mind.

Well, I guess someone ought to use these beds.

- You scared me. - Sorry.

You scared me.

Oh my goodness.

You can't avoid me forever.

If you don't fix this,

I will make sure you never work in this town again.

And you know how few calls that will take.

I never had these problems

when your dad was in charge of my account.

Okay.

You can do this.

You are confident.

You are fierce.

You are a complete coward.

Tony, you know I love you, and those big meaty fingers.

But when I say gently, please interpret that as,

if anything arrives in less than mint condition,

I will hunt you down,

and destroy everything good in your life.

Capisce?

- Ah. - Thanks.

I see you uh, packed your sass today.

Always.

Oh my goodness, so how did it go with uh,

with the jeans guy?

Oh gosh!

I had to cut the cord.

What? Why?

Uh, he wanted us to go jogging together

on a Sunday at 7:00 a.m.

Desi, you know you could have just said no, right?

Ah, the mere suggestion tells me that

he's operating on a fatal dose of delusion,

and mama don't want a cautionary tale.

But you know, enough about me. How are you?

How's the assistant search going?

I feel like I am throwing myself down a never-ending staircase.

- Oh. - The last girl I asked,

why she was interesting in staging,

and she started talking about musicals...

That she did in high school.

Hey, I dated a musical theatre nerd

once by mistake,

and he told me I needed to reel it in,

while we were hooking up

in his creepy uncle's Ford Focus,

because I was upstaging him.

Oh, ah, side note.

I might have run a little overkill

on forklift Phil,

so if comes claiming emotional damage,

you know, it might be a tad valid.

You have to be nicer to people.

I'll try, but you and I both know the reason

why you hired me as lead decorator,

is because I'm a gorgeous

and intimidating dragon whisperer,

and intimidate I shall.

How about you intimidate Kyle Morgan?

Because he has called me at least 10 times.

Sorry, boo, he only wants to talk to you.

Oh, I don't know how my dad did this.

It's been seven months.

You'll find your legs.

You're an amazing decorator.

Being a boss, an owner, is a completely different beast.

Hey, I'm home.

Where are the kids?

What... what's wrong?

There was a court hearing today.

Gavin's biological mom wants him back.

Terrence, the adoption is almost final.

He's been with us...

They want us to drop him off at the school and...

And what?

And what?

And that's it.

She'll pick him up after.

Then we fight.

The state wants him with his mom.

I am his mother.

I know.

They cannot take him away from me.

- That is our child. - I know, I know, I know.

No, stop.

It's not okay!

Why are you staring?

Oh, ju...

Just looking at you.

Thinking about how much I love you.

Go back to sleep.

You're weird.

It's what mamas do.

Gavin! Mila!

Can you come here, please?

Hey.

Oh.

Before we get started, your mother and I

wanna have a quick chat with you.

We love you guys so much.

Our foster son was returned to his birth mother,

and we're devastated.

Shower time.

In a minute.

Mila, shower!

Now!

Sure, dad.

She seems to be doing a lot better.

Yeah.

Children are resilient.

Hey, it's only been three weeks.

Gotta give yourself a break.

Baby, I just see him.

I see him everywhere.

It's like this house felt like a home,

when it was the four of us.

Hey, hey, hey... Now, it just...

It'll feel like a home again.

Maybe.

Baby, maybe we should try again.

Seriously?

Yeah.

You know what Dr. Horgan said?

But listen, that was two years ago.

Maybe my body just needed rest.

Don't you want another one?

Of course, I do.

I just...

You didn't see the pain in your eyes that...

The constant defeat over and over again.

And I had to feel it.

That's not fair.

You're right.

I'm sorry.

I just...

I can't watch you go through that again.

I won't.

I just know that there's a void in our family

that I have to try to fill.

Hey, we'll get through this, okay?

I don't wan to get through it.

I want to solve it.

Terrence?

You... you good?

No, I think I heard someone scream.

Please help me!

- Someone, please! - See!

- Stay here. - Okay.

Who is it?

Thank God, please, you have to let me in!

I'm running away from my boyfriend.

He just threatened to kill me and I didn't know what to do!

If he finds me, I swear he'll kill me, please...

Oh.

Oh my God! That's him!

Please, I'm begging you, you have to let me in.

Okay.

Just go around back, the gate's unlocked, alright?

Okay, thank you.

Wait, wait. What is going on?

I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

Come on, out!

Come out, come out, wherever you are.

Just, just wait.

You don't see her?

Where did she go?

I don't see her.

Please, I need some help.

Okay.

I need you to stay right here, okay?

- I'm gonna call the police. - No, no, no, no.

He'll know you called them and he'll find me.

He'll find me.

Okay, okay, okay, come here. Come here, come here, come here.

Okay, you just are in shock.

Just calm down. You're safe now.

- You have a safe place to be. - Wait, wait, wait!

- What? - Hang on.

Are you insane?

She could be lying.

Look at her face.

She's terrified.

Then I'll take her to a shelter, to the hospital, to a...

No, no, you have got to stay here with Mila.

What if whoever that is comes back?

It's crazy.

We have no idea who she is.

Baby, she is pregnant.

And she needs our help.

Please.

Baby?

- You take the pepper spray. - I got it.

And make sure that your location tracker is on.

It's already on.

- Go. - Okay.

Come on, come on, come on. Come on!

Come with me. Come with me.

Are you okay?

Come on, come on.

So, you don't have any friends, any family?

Anyone that I could call?

No. Not for a couple thousand miles.

Okay, okay. There is a...

there is a hotel not too far from here.

I'll take you there.

We were on our way to Florida.

Wait.

Wait, wait, wait. That's him! That's him. That's him.

Duck down, duck down, duck down.

It's okay. He's gone. You can get up.

I promise everything will be alright.

It'll be okay.

Oh my goodness.

Okay, we are here.

I'll pay for the room.

Don't worry about it.

Why are you being so nice to me?

I'm a mom, you're a mom.

And you have enough on your plate right now.

Um, can I ask you a question?

Of course.

You... you said that he threatened to kill you.

Why?

And I'm sure that two bottles

of whiskey in his system didn't help.

Alcoholics don't just dull their pain.

They dull the lives of everyone around them.

Which is why I created a profile

on an independent adoption site.

And why he went...

He went absolutely mental, which doesn't even make sense,

'cause it's not like he's the father, but...

Have you told the father

that you're putting the baby up for adoption?

No.

He uh, he died.

Oh.

In a car accident a few months ago.

I... I am so sorry.

He was the best person I knew.

We started dating in eighth grade.

Mrs. Wheeler's science class.

We wanted to go to Florida and get season passes to Disney.

That's um...

That's where I'm headed after all of this,

I have cousins that live by the water.

It's nothing fancy,

but I think it'll be a good place to start over.

After I say goodbye.

He deserves a home that's ready for him.

Ready in ways that I'm just not.

Listen, that is the most loving thing

that you can ever do.

It's what Gavin would have wanted.

Gavin?

That was his father's name.

Oh.

Oh my goodness.

He is absolutely beautiful.

Oh, he's perfect.

Look at him.

Yeah, he is.

It's gonna be okay.

Can you give me one moment, please?

Hm, yeah.

Do you believe in signs?

What kind of signs?

You know, like little winks from the universe,

that let us know

that some things are intentional.

Sometimes. Why?

I believe we were supposed to meet.

Let's go home.

Mm... yes.

Are you out of your mind?

What?

Beth, you can't just invite a stranger

to sleep at our house,

just because you had one bonding moment.

She could be dangerous.

I don't recall pitching a fit when you brought Tucker home,

because you guys had one bonding moment.

Ta...

I brought home a stray dog.

You brought home a stray person!

What's the difference?

Oh, I don't know.

Opposable thumbs,

the ability to grasp things like knives.

Seriously?

Have you really not thought about the millions of ways

this could take a straight turn towards aid line?

Of course, I have.

That's why you are spending the night

in Mila's room tonight.

It's one night. We'll survive.

Or be brutally murdered.

Well, that is the other possibility.

I'm so glad we're taking this seriously.

I love you, too.

This is cute though.

I love her.

I love her.

Oh my God.

I'm sorry, I should have knocked.

You're fine, It's... I'm just a little jumpy.

Well, I um...

I brought you some pyjama options.

Thanks.

Here.

Um...

Are you sure this is okay?

I feel awful taking your son's room?

I could sleep on the couch if you want.

Ah.It's really no problem.

We don't have a son.

It's um...

It's a long story, but it's fine.

We are right down the hall if you need anything.

- Okay. - Okay.

- Goodnight. - Goodnight.

Um, thank you for everything.

You're welcome.

Hmm.

Mila!

Mila!

Mila. Mila!

Mila!

Mila, Mila!

Oh...

Oh.

- Where is she? - Okay, listen, I don't know.

Oh, you know what I'm talking about?

I don't know.

Where is she?

You have really pretty hair.

Thanks.

You have pretty hair, too.

I'm thinking of dyeing it turquoise.

And who said that that was okay?

Stella's mom says it's a sign of courage

and creativity.

And does Stella's mom also decide

how much screen time you get a day?

Just because you're content

being a grey sprinkle on a rainbow cupcake,

- doesn't mean I have to be. - Alright.

Well, this grey sprinkle

has a lot more to talk about in the car.

So, let's go.

Excuse me, ma'am, where's my kiss?

Come on, come on.

Mmm, muah.

We are gonna talk about this later.

- I love you. - Love you.

Well, this is gonna be a fun car ride.

Glad it's you and not me.

Love you.

Love you, my grey sprinkle.

Mmm, thank you for that.

Oh, I packed you a pasta salad, bottom shelf.

Babe, you're the best.

Thank you.

Oh my goodness.

Hell hath no fury

like a slightly inconvenienced Gen Z-er.

- She's adorable. - Mm, thank you.

You both seem like really good parents.

Yeah, it's mostly Terrence, you know.

He is the oldest of four brothers

and he has had some practice.

You know what?

Come on, we're gonna go shopping.

- Let's go. - For what?

You know, just the necessities.

You didn't uh, happen to grab a suitcase

when you were running down the street from your ex,

did you?

No.

I didn't think so.

So, come on. My treat.

You know, you don't have to be this nice to me, right?

Oh, my toxic trait is being this nice to everyone.

So, what you're saying is, don't feel special.

Oh, pretty much.

Alright, got everything.

Morning.

Oh.

Sorry, didn't mean to scare you.

How can I help you?

Well, I'm actually looking for a missing person.

She was uh, last seen walking down the street.

Oh, um...

Didn't I see you last night?

Um...

We uh, we passed each other on the street.

- Did we? - Yeah, we did.

Well, I'm... I'm sorry.

I... I haven't seen her.

Have you contacted the police?

Not yet.

Well, maybe that should be your next step.

- Thanks for the tip. - Mm-hmm.

I got your keys.

Oh, right.

Um, thank you.

This is bad.

No, no, no, no. It's fine. It's fine.

He doesn't know you're here.

Not yet.

Alright, come on, let's go this way.

Ah, this is way too much.

This is barely a fresh start.

- Okay, we'll check your iron. - Okay.

And then we'll see if we need anything else.

Oh wait, I think I know that woman.

Yeah, I've seen her on some of the mommy blogs.

She's supposed to be this like,

super midwife baby guru that everyone swears by.

She probably charges an arm and a leg.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, it's fine.

I just um,

I just need to stop by the office real quick.

- Okay. - Okay. Yeah, come on.

I told you that you

weren't going to be able to avoid me forever.

Now, what exactly are you trying to do?

Your dad and I had agreements in place,

when he started this business and if it wasn't for me,

you probably wouldn't even have a business,

as it is.

- So... Please - Just... just give me a moment.

Just give me a moment, please?

Hey.

- Is everything okay? - I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine.

- I just um... - You're having a panic attack.

Or two.

- Oh... - It's okay, it's okay.

Just breathe.

Breathe.

I used to have them all the time.

Really?

You didn't think you were the only person burdened

with the crushing psychological weight of being alive.

Did you?

Oh my goodness.

Who is the jerk with the receding hairline?

Oh, he is a very unhappy client that I wish

that I could just tell to go to hell.

So, why don't you?

You know, I know we just met and it's really sweet

that you think I'm the type of person that can do that,

but I'm really more of the rollover

and give you anything you want type.

What's his name?

Kyle Morgan.

Does he have any kids?

Yeah, like three girls.

Perfect. Follow me.

What are you gonna... What are you doing?

Mr. Morgan! Hi.

Quick question.

Do you enjoy threatening and gaslighting everyone

with textbook verbal abuse.

Or is that a technique you save specifically for women?

What the hell are you talking about?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Should I speak slower or do you want to call

one of your daughters and have them explain it to you?

Who the hell is this?

Patricia Allen, Mrs. Horby's attorney.

You're a lawyer?

Oh, I'm just here as a witness.

Witness, for what?

Would you like to take it from here?

From this point forward,

all contracts with Halo Interiors

and Morgan Estates are officially terminated.

Your business is no longer welcomed here.

Neither is your nauseating drugstore cologne.

Your father would be ashamed.

The only thing he would be ashamed of

is me letting you walk over me for this long.

Yes, girl.

I can't believe I just did that.

I have been dreaming of doing that

for the past seven months.

Well, congrats.

You are officially no longer a pushover.

Hey, Georgia.

This may sound really crazy, but do you want a job here?

As what? Your lawyer?

I think I might be a few degrees short.

No, no, no, no. As... as my assistant.

It would just be temporary.

I know you're going to Florida,

but maybe you could stay an extra month, or two.

Just until I find somebody else.

I mean you'd collect a couple of paychecks

in the process.

Wow, um...

Okay, listen, don't...

You don't have to feel obligated to just say...

- Yes. - Really?

Yeah, a 100%.

Okay. Well, great.

Do you wanna step into my office,

and we can discuss the details?

Okay, but you offered her a job?

You should have seen her. She was amazing.

Okay.

Well, wasn't he one of your biggest clients?

Uh yes, and biggest headaches.

Hey, are you at home?

Uh, no. No, no,

I just got back into the office.

Anyway, I should probably get back to it.

Big day.

Oh, okay. Well, love you.

Love you, too.

Okay, here we go.

And this, this is where we

that no longer fit in the home's new design aesthetic.

I know, I know, but I promise you, this is organized chaos.

It's boxes full of snow globe collections

and mugs from around the world.

Anything that would kind of scare off potential buyers.

Ah, like this little gem right here.

"World's greatest mom."

Yeah, you'd have to be allow that thing in your house.

Oh, hi, Tony, Bradley.

Please be careful with that.

It is worth a fortune.

- Hey. - Hey.

Oh, and who's this glowing goddess?

Desi, this is Georgia.

Georgia, this is Desi, one of our lead stagers.

Um, she's a pretty good with the clients.

I.e. I scare them.

Pretty much.

Georgia is my new assistant.

Ah. And just when I was beginning to think,

I would never hear those three words.

And Georgia is staying with us for a little bit.

Oh, well, that's intriguing.

But also a mini crisis.

We have another hostage situation.

Wh... what's going on?

The upholsterer for the Hodge Project,

apparently he's having some financial problems,

and they're behind paying their team.

So, the staff had a mutiny,

and now they're holding our items hostage.

So, when is the install?

Tomorrow at 10:00 a.m.

As in less than 24 hours,

hence the slight panic in my tone.

And we do have other projects with him, correct?

- Regrettably. - Great.

Okay, well, just pay the scumbag,

give him an advance, so that he can pay his workers.

However, make sure they have the furniture there

before 9:30 a.m.

Crisis averted. Oh, please,

make sure to tip them well,

so that when they leave and start their own business,

we will get a first new customer discount.

Money's in the safe, you know the code.

Did you have anything to do with this newfound confidence?

Maybe a little bit.

Well, it's sexy as hell.

- Thank you. - But I gotta go.

Stay rich and fabulous.

Yes, ma'am.

- It was nice to meet you. - So nice.

- She seems fun. - She is.

- Just don't sleep with her. - Ha.

Noted.

Come this way.

Hey.

- Hey. - So uh,

when did you find time to fold the laundry?

Oh yeah, I got home like, half an hour early.

Hm.

So, does this mean I'm doing the dishes?

Already done.

What? Okay, Superman.

So, why don't you uh, bring some of that productivity upstairs?

- Oh yeah? - Yeah.

I'll be right up.

Mm-hmm.

Do you mind if I'm a little late today?

I'm meeting a couple for brunch about a potential adoption.

- Oh yeah? - Yeah.

They reached out last night.

I don't know, uh, we'll see how it goes.

Um, I was just gonna get an Uber to pick me up here,

if that's cool.

Of course.

I mean, or I could drive you.

I'll wait in the car.

Get a little work done.

I could use a change of venue.

Okay, yeah, thanks.

- I'll grab my stuff. - Okay.

Thank you.

- Thank you so much. - Thank you so much.

How nice to meet you.

- I'll let you know tomorrow. - Such a pleasure to meet you.

- Bye. - Bye.

- Hi. - Hey.

So, how'd it go?

So good.

Yeah, better than good, great.

They were so sweet and cute.

And they've been trying to get pregnant forever.

And their last two adoptions fell through at the last minute.

So, they are desperate and exhausted.

And very, very generous.

Yeah, how so?

They offered to buy me a car.

But can they do that?

I guess.

- I don't know. - Hmm.

And they offered to pay for that fancy midwife

we saw at the store, and more than enough money

for me to get set up in Florida after the birth.

So, what happens now?

I don't know.

I told them I'd let them know tomorrow,

but now that I'm hearing all this out loud,

that sounds insane, right?

I think I should just say yes.

I mean, what if they change their mind?

This could be the best offer I get.

Well, maybe you should just sleep on it.

I don't know.

I feel like I should just say yes.

Listen to my gut, and go for it, right?

I'm just gonna call them and say yes.

Georgia, Georgia, Georgia.

Yeah?

What if you had another offer on the table?

It's not like we haven't thought about adopting a thousand times.

Yeah, through an agency

with a reputation, and... and fancy plaques.

Plenty of people don't use an agency to adopt.

It's more common than you think.

Okay, and we will still use an adoption attorney.

Georgia already has one picked out that she likes.

Yeah, I bet she has.

If you don't want me to get poked

and prodded anymore, this is our chance.

No injections, no trauma, no drawn-out adoption process.

Okay, how much does she want?

$30,000.

And I think we should buy her a car.

You're joking.

She already has an offer from another family.

And let me guess, she wants the money up front.

Half, yes.

Baby...

there is a little boy out there who needs a home...

who needs a father.

Someone to wrestle with, and play football.

Georgia can...

Can work with me until she has the baby.

And then she's off to Florida.

And then we have our family back.

One girl, and one boy.

Yeah.

One very pricey receipt.

What if God sent her here for a reason?

Ah, I hope you're right.

Is that a yes?

Whatever you want.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Don't forget this.

Having a baby.

I believe that midwifery

is more than simply a career.

It's a calling.

And it's my mission

to not only guide my pregnant patients

through every stage of life, but also assist them.

I offer a wide range of services from wellness coaching

to prenatal care, postpartum support,

family planning,

as well as a slew of other elevated treatments

that you can pick and choose from.

Sounds expensive.

Well, who's ready to hear his heartbeat?

I am.

Okay.

There he is.

That's a good strong heartbeat.

So, I want you to keep an eye

on that elevated blood pressure, okay?

Try to stay as stress-free and calm as possible.

It's important for you and for baby.

- Yes. - I'll try.

Um, also I'd like to schedule our prenatal exercise.

How does tomorrow at 3:30 sound?

Works for me. 3:30 works great.

- Okay, great. - I'll see you then.

Thank you so much.

Oh, you're so welcome.

- Bye. - Bye.

- She was great. - She's lovely.

- Can I? - Yeah.

Oh.

- Let's see. - Mm-hmm.

Ah, you ready to go?

Ready to go.

I thought that we would start with 10 to 15 minutes a day.

Three days a week, with one day off between walks.

That way we can slowly increase the intensity,

and the duration.

Is that safe for the baby?

Oh, very. I like to think of pregnancy as the one time,

when you can ah, focus

on not just setting records with exercise, you know.

- Okay. - It's also about optimizing

health for mama and baby.

- Oh. - Could you?

- Absolutely. - Thank you.

Here we go. Gotta save the energy for the actual workout.

- Thank you. - No, you're welcome.

Is everything okay?

I think I heard something.

Here, I'll go see what's going on.

- You guys stay here. - Sure.

- Where is she? - What are you doing in my house?

I know she's here.

You don't leave right now, I'm calling the police.

Puck!

Run!

- What's going on? - Call 9-1-1.

Quick.

Get back here!

You quit your pulling, huh?

Get off of me!

No!

Georgia!

I just wanted to talk to you, okay!

Come on. We're going down there.

Downstairs.

- The police are on their way. - Ssh, ssh.

Come with me, come on.

Shit!

Wait, wait. Wait, wait, wait.

Under the stairs. Under the stairs.

Okay.

Sshhh.

Sshhh.

Okay, go.

Come on, come on, come on.

Okay, let's go.

- Go, go, go, go! - Okay, okay, okay, okay!

Hey!

Why are you acting like this?

I just want to talk to you.

- Leave me alone! - Drive, drive, drive.

Okay, okay.

- Hey. - Hey.

How are you feeling?

How's the baby?

Oh, okay.

Better knowing there's an officer out front.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Carmen says everything's fine after the fall, so...

Can I talk to you about something?

Oh, of course.

What about?

You and your ex, I just... I just don't understand

how a woman who is so confident and so self-assured,

in every other aspect of her life,

would allow a man to treat her like that.

It just doesn't...

Add up.

Well, I wasn't gonna say it exactly like that, but...

You're right though, it doesn't.

Why do you think I ran?

When I'm not with him,

I finally start to feel like myself again.

Or at least the version of me

that I hope is still in there somewhere.

She is.

There is something I wanted to talk to you about, too.

Please don't take this the wrong way 'cause I'm...

So grateful for everything

you've done for me,

but I am not sure that I feel safe

now that Puck knows I'm here.

My heart's been racing non-stop, and I'm afraid with my high BP,

that staying just might not be healthy for the baby,

and I can't help

but feel like it might be better for everyone

if I just disappeared again.

No!

Are you kidding?

You are a godsend.

We are so incredibly thankful.

Please, let me figure this out.

Let me find a solution, okay?

I promise that I won't let anything happen to you

or the baby.

- Really? - Absolutely.

Don't worry about anything.

Thank you.

You um, get some rest.

Okay. Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Wow.

It's a lot bigger than the others.

Well, two beds, two baths.

Twice the square footage.

And with us being on the first floor,

you have your own little oasis in the back.

Total transparency. It's a tad over your budget.

Well, there was plenty of space in the studio apartment,

don't you think?

- Yeah, totally. - Yeah.

The view on the third floor are definitely a bonus.

Oh.

Are you okay?

Here come, sit down.

Oh. Yeah, I'm... I'm okay.

I was just...

Oh, I think my blood pressure might be a bit high.

You don't um, you don't think it's

because of all the stairs at the last unit, do you?

There are quite a few.

It's... it's fine.

I'll be fine.

Oh, boy.

Okay.

So, if a client asks for rusted Southwestern.

Ooh, okay.

I think I'd go with Spanish textiles.

- Okay. - Iron work.

- Yes. - Terracotta

with natural materials.

And industrial touches.

You're a natural.

Can't remember the last time I was this good at something.

Oh now, all you need is your own computer

and your own car.

What?

Stop.

- You didn't? - Listen, it's nothing fancy,

but it'll do.

No, I can't accept this.

Yes, you can.

You are too good to me.

No, honestly you could have chosen any family.

And probably a family that could have done more

than we can.

So, we're grateful for you.

Thank you so much.

Mmm.

Okay, now let's get this apartment unpacked.

Oh, phew.

I know.

Alrighty.

So, hot delivery guy came by.

Oh, I hope you tipped him well.

Of course.

You know you should really write a book

documenting your...

Slut shenanigans?

I was gonna say lovers.

Ew, why?

To avoid sounding crude.

Honey, if I avoided sounding crude,

I'd be silencing one of my biggest personality traits.

Well, that's true. That's true.

Speaking of dominating personalities...

Uh-oh.

I thought we were done letting people walk all over us

like cheap linoleum.

What are you talking about?

Rhymes with Porja.

Yeah, and that's what you're gonna be

if you keep showering your new bff with gifts.

They're not gifts.

They're necessities.

And it's completely normal.

Look, I like her and everything.

But I like you more.

And I know that gorgeous little heart of yours

has no bounds.

I just want to make sure you're being safe about things.

Well, I do appreciate your concern.

Just promise me you're not gonna ignore any red flags?

I promise, we're good.

Just... just trust me.

Okay.

Now, let's get back to talking about me.

Oh.

How cute is this?

- Oh my goodness. - Oh, we have to get this.

Absolutely.

You're back.

How's baby?

Good, thanks.

Wait a minute, I thought you're having a girl?

I'm... I'm sorry. You must have me confused with someone else.

Oh no, but we met a few months ago.

You were in with that really nice couple.

No, never been here before.

- I could have sworn... - Uh, do you have this in sage?

We're trying to stick with a theme.

I... yeah. I can check in the back.

- Thanks. - That's so cute.

That was weird.

What'd you find?

Isn't this cute? Look.

I don't know what it is though.

Oh!

- Oh God! I think I broke it. - How cute!

Oh, no. Oh my gosh.

Oh, anybody having a meeting

- with the Johnson's... - Thanks.

Definitely needs some caffeine.

- I'll be there in 10. - See you.

Hey, girl.

I knew I didn't like you.

I just couldn't quite put my finger on it.

Until now.

Yeah, I saw the security footage

and I know you stole from the Diaz's collection.

What?

I didn't steal anything!

Oh, you mean the jewel thing?

- Yeah. - I took that to get polished.

I thought it was scuffed, but it was fine.

I... I thought it would be a nice gesture.

I can show you the receipt.

Oh, fabulous. I'll wait.

Yeah, okay, one second.

Uh.

See?

Look, the next time you decide

to take something from inventory,

kind gesture or not, you run it by me.

- Capisce? - Of course.

I'm sorry for the confusion.

Good.

What the hell was that about?

We might have a problem.

Was it good?

Hello?

Who are you?

Well, just checked on Mila.

She's sound asleep.

We need to talk.

Okay.

What... what's up?

Hold on, it's Owen.

Hello.

What?

I'm on my way. Okay, I'm coming.

Hey.

I came as soon as I heard.

How is she doing?

She's stable.

That's a good thing Owen found her when he did.

What happened?

A stack of boxes fell over on her.

How?

Your guess is as good as mine.

Has she talked?

Not yet.

The doctor said it may be a couple of days.

Is there anything I can get for you?

No, I'm good. I'm okay.

Hey.

She's gonna be fine.

I know, I know.

It's just um...

I think Terrence is having an affair.

What?

Why?

Well, I saw him having coffee today with another woman.

Okay, well coffee isn't the most incriminating thing.

I mean, maybe there was a good excuse.

He lied about it.

Damn.

Yeah.

I'm so sorry.

I... I never would have taken him for the cheater type.

Well, unfortunately, it's not the first time.

When we found out that I didn't have any um,

viable eggs,

we... we had a really dark patch.

He swore it was a one-time thing,

and I believed him.

That must have been really tough.

It was.

How old was Mila?

It was before Mila was born.

But I thought you said that it was...

Mila was born via donor egg.

Oh, I had no idea.

Most people don't.

With Mila being at the top of that list.

You have no idea

what it feels to wake up every day and feel broken,

because you are unable to do what every other woman can.

It doesn't make her any less yours.

Or him.

Well, I uh,

I guess the baby saved our marriage once.

It can happen again, right?

Please wake up.

Please.

I need you right now.

Hi, babe, how's Desi?

Still out of it.

Oh jeez.

Hey, I was thinking that maybe

we'll swing by the hospital tomorrow,

and we can drop off some supper, or maybe a couple of...

How long?

How long?

Right after Gavin.

I was in a bad head space.

A colleague of mine just pressed the wrong button

and next thing I know he's on the floor

and I'm out of the job.

You got fired?

Isn't that what we're talking about?

I'm talking about the affair!

- What affair? - I saw you.

You saw me what?

With her at Blackbird.

No, no, hun, that... That was a job interview.

Terrence, don't lie to me.

I'm not lying to you.

I'll show you the job application.

Beth, sweetheart, look at me.

I am not having an affair.

You promise?

On my life, okay.

I would never do that to you again.

Are you kidding me?

That was the biggest mistake of my life.

I mean, look, if you're... You're unhappy.

When the baby comes, I know it'll be just like last time.

What? No, Beth.

Time-out.

My love, having a baby did not save our marriage, okay?

That was you and I, we did that as a team.

Having Mila,

that was just the icing on the cake,

that you and I built together.

Then why didn't you tell me?

After the whole Gavin fiasco,

I didn't want to add to the stress.

Any prospects?

A couple.

But nothing really exciting.

Why don't you come work for the company?

- Seriously? - Yeah.

I mean, you could handle all the business stuff.

That would give me the time

to do the job I'm actually good at.

Wouldn't we get tired of each other?

Oh, absolutely.

But as you said, we're a team.

So what you're like, my boss now?

Um, absolutely.

Is there a problem with that?

No, no, no.

Actually think it's kind of hot.

Mm-hmm.

But um, you are still in trouble, sir.

You have to always tell me the truth.

I promise.

I love you.

Hmm, love you, too.

I might be totally history-revisioning

the hell out of this, but I wanna say they talked

about meeting her at some kind of online mom's group.

Did they say the name?

I don't really, I...

It was something weird. It didn't really make sense.

Was it Mommy Mine?

That's it.

Are you okay?

Yes, thank you. I just... I just have to go.

What...

I was afraid if you knew I had a previous miscarriage,

you'd panic, and I just... I didn't want to scare you.

I'm so sorry.

I know I should have been up front with you, but...

I can't believe they're dead.

You don't think Puck had anything to do with this,

do you?

Well, the police say they don't suspect foul play.

I hope they're not wrong.

How's your blood pressure?

Ask me again in an hour.

Hey, I got food.

Oh, finally I'm famished.

Hey, hey!

What the hell is this?

It's cool.

We're in the clear.

What... what do you mean?

You didn't do this? Puck, you don't need to worry about this.

Did you do this?

No, I didn't kill them.

Lying.

I'm not lying!

Then who the hell did it then, huh?

I did.

They knew too much, it had to be done.

Why would you do that?

That wasn't even part of the plan!

Relax. They didn't feel a thing.

You're a sociopath.

Well, welcome to the club, snowflake.

Oh, daddy's mad.

Hey.

Calm down, okay.

Hey, we have a new plan.

Look at me.

Hey, how does $600,000 sound?

What are you talking about?

Now he's listening.

In 48 hours,

Halo is going to unload a truck with enough expensive art

to fill an oceanfront penthouse.

And when the sun goes down, we're going to load it

all right back into the same truck.

Along with everything else inside.

And then we're out of here.

With a big-ass payday in the back seat.

$600,000, huh?

Sounds nice, doesn't it?

There he is.

Nobody else dies.

Do you understand me?

Deal.

Say it.

Nobody else dies, hm.

Nobody else dies.

Let's this put this over there.

Oh.

Hello?

Is anyone home?

Georgia?

Hello?

Okay.

Oh my goodness.

The articles might be...

Okay, okay, okay.

Okay, okay. I'm going here.

Oh.

There's a lot of stuff.

But if we each take a truck, we'll triple our odds.

Hey, girl.

I know,

I know this is a shocking turn of events for you.

And I hope you know it brings me zero pleasure.

I actually like you a lot.

More than any of the others, which is weird,

'cause I normally don't like anyone.

It's true.

She's really not a people person.

You remember Carmen, right?

Surprise.

Not a midwife.

Although, I do think,

I'm starting to get a bit of a knack for it.

So, here's the thing, B.

We are in a bit of a pickle.

Really going off-script with this one.

And it is going to require a little bit of acting from you.

So, I hope you're up for the challenge.

This time tomorrow,

we'll be halfway across the state

with well, everything inside this place.

Plus, the McQueen's art collection

which won't be here until the morning,

as you know, that's our little dilemma.

So, until then, you'll be here.

First thing on the to-do list,

I'm going to need you to call Terrence,

and let him know that,

you'll be sleeping at the hospital tonight

with Desi.

Muah.

Poor Desi.

Think you can handle that?

Oh, right.

Silly me.

Let's try that again, shall we?

He won't believe me.

For your sake, I hope he does.

Or the next phone call will be to Mila,

informing her of mommy's little secret.

Though, I guess the mommy part isn't completely accurate now,

is it?

Phone.

Thank you.

Hey, babe.

Hey.

What are you guys up to?

Uh, just helping Mila with her homework.

Um, I'm going to spend the night

at the hospital with Desi.

They think she may wake up

and I don't want her to be alone.

Oh.

Do you want us to bring you a bag or something?

No, no, no.

I um,

I grabbed some things this morning before I left.

Okay.

Well, just keep me posted.

Love you.

Love you!

Love you, too.

Okay, well, we've got some errands to run,

but Puck's gonna hang out and make sure

everything stays copacetic.

Best behavior, okay?

Thank you.

Please, don't.

Just... just for a few minutes.

I promise, I won't scream.

Whatever.

Am I gonna die?

No.

No. No one else is dying.

You're not so sure, are you?

They gave me their word.

Honesty isn't really their strong suit though, is it?

Look, we... we have a system in place, okay?

And that... the dying's not a part of it.

Just like last time?

Yeah, well, last time didn't go according to plan.

Is this going according to plan?

You're not a killer.

I can tell.

What part of

"No one is gonna die", don't you understand, huh?

I want to believe you.

I do.

Listen, I have a little girl.

- I have a husband. - Oh, don't do that.

- I have a... - Stop doing that.

- Okay, please. - Don't do what?

Trying to make yourself more of a person.

Trying to connect to me, like I'm some type of kidnapper.

This isn't what's going on here, okay?

I'm not a killer.

God damn it!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

You know,

none of this would be happening if you weren't so nice.

She knew if she laid that victim crap on you,

you'd take her in.

Now what are you going to do?

You go... you go and give her a job.

You give her all these crazy-ass ideas.

I mean, no wonder this is happening.

You know, none of the others were like this.

We were just...

We just target a woman, pocket a few thousand,

take some nice shit, bounce.

Nobody gets hurt.

Just emotionally devastated, right?

Now listen, it's not too late.

You can fix this.

Yeah, like my hands are so clean, right?

Your hands might not be clean,

but at least they don't have blood on 'em.

Not yet at least.

And you and I both know,

they're going to keep pushing, and pushing.

And it is only a matter of time before your hands are so dirty,

that they can't possibly become clean.

Okay.

Ah!

Not another step.

Hey!

Let her go.

Or I'll call the cops myself.

Why do you have to go say a silly thing like that?

No! No! No!

No, no, no!

Sorry, Georgia.

Get her!

Now!

What was that?

It was probably Owen.

- Who the hell is Owen? - The security guard.

Fine. Take care of it. I got her.

No.

She's mine.

Okay.

- Switch me then. - Why?

Because Johnny Rent-A-Cops probably got a gun,

and yours just a mom.

And try not to get any blood on the furniture.

I want top dollar for everything in here.

I mean it!

I thought it was great.

Oh, your mom's gonna be su...

Honey?

Where's mom?

I don't know.

Come on, let's go.

You know, I wasn't lying

when I said I actually like you Bethany.

Turns out, we're not so different,

you and I.

I was barely 18, when they told me

that I'd never be able to get pregnant.

First time, I pretended

it was at one of those maternity shops

with the fake bumps in the dressing rooms,

you know.

I just wanted to numb the shame.

Forget for a few minutes

that I couldn't do what everyone else could.

How many moms are unhappy with their one or two kids?

Always wanting more!

You think I'm greedy?

Look in the mirror!

Not all of us can afford to buy a family

when things don't work out, Bethany.

You have a perfectly healthy little girl.

And it's still not enough for you.

And the justifications!

The justifications are truly works of delusion.

"It's for my husband.

He deserves a son.

She deserves a brother to play with.

He deserves a sister."

Well, you know what I deserve?

A God damn break!

Aaa!

And that is where our little rewrite comes in.

Maybe, I'll use the money from selling everything

to start my own staging business.

You can keep the boring husband, and the cute kid.

This mommy wants the career.

Stay here, lock the door.

Dad!

Look at all this beautiful furniture.

Your mom has very good taste.

I know you think

that I'm probably a bad person and that's fair.

But I promise you, I'm not.

I'm a good person.

As long as you do what I say, okay.

You do that, and we'll get along fine, okay.

Well, nobody told me

it was take your kid to work day.

- Mila. - Mommy!

Oh, nice try.

What are you doing?

Upping the stakes, duh.

Puck, give me...

Oh, Puck.

Puck, baby.

I hope you're alright.

Okay, Bethany.

Here's how this is gonna go.

You're gonna give me the cash in the safe

and we're gonna call it a day.

You'll never see or hear from me again.

- Baby, come on, come on, yes. - Mommy!

- Come here, baby, it's okay. - Beth!

It's okay. We're okay, we're okay.

Mila! Mila!

Baby, yes, we're in here!

- Dad! - Oh, thank God.

- Oh my goodness. - Oh, thank God.

Oh my God. Are you okay?

Come on, come on.

We gotta go, we gotta go, we gotta go.

Let's go.

I'm just saying Mrs. Dr. Brad Redford

sounds extra right.

You are the only person I know

that can have a near death experience

and turn it into a meet-cute.

Take notes, young one.

Um, absolutely not.

Oh, by the way, uh, Mrs. Fielding's cat,

she just finished having another litter,

in case you're interested, so.

I read an article once

that cats are a gateway to BDSM.

- No, no, no, no, no. - No, no, no, no, no.

- Please ignore her. - Okay, I'm kidding.

Not about the cat thing though.

Seriously, you should look it up.

So, is that a yes?

You know, I'm good.

I have all the family I need right here.

Did you really just say that out loud?

Okay, it sounded a lot less corny in my head.

But give me your mama a pass.

Is that Gavin's biological mom?

Yeah, sweety, it is.

Um, give me one second.

I'll be right back.

Okay.

- Hi. - Hi.

I hope this is okay, us talking.

Oh, of course.

I just don't really know the rules

for this kind of thing.

Me neither.

Oh, hi.

- It's okay. - Can I please play with Gavin?

- Uh... - Please?

Oh, yes, of course.

I think he would love that.

I'm Cynthia, by the way.

- Oh, Bethany. - It's so nice to meet you.

So nice to meet you, too.

Hi, Cynthia.

Nice to meet you.

Oh baby, I missed you so much!

Look at you.

Hey, buddy.

- Let's go play. - Yeah, come on.

What? Whoa, whoa, hey!

Oh, okay.

Good, just adjusting.
